It’s so nice to have a long weekend off. Yesterday I curled up in cat slippers, snuggled with actual cats, and sniffled through parts 1 and 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I love the Harry Potter books and movies as much for the inner struggles and hidden depths of the characters as for the wit and wizardry. Harry is a hero Joseph Campbell would have beamed at, but in the end, the story has several heroes. The most compelling is Snape, played by the incomparable Alan Rickman, rest his soul. Spoiler alert for anyone on earth who doesn’t yet know the ending.
